Using Surround sound

Adjusting the speaker volume

The test tone feature lets you set the volume of your speakers to the same level. (If all of your speakers have equal performance, you don’t have to adjust the speaker volume.)

Using the controls on the remote lets you test the speaker connection and adjust the volume level from your listening position.

Press SOUND FIELD MODE +/– repeatedly to select “PRO LOGIC”.

You will hear the test tone from each speaker sequentially.

•To adjust the level of centre speaker, press LEVEL CENTER + or – on the remote.

Adjusting the delay time

You can make the surround sound more effective by delaying the output from the rear speakers (delay time). You can select from three delay times, S (15 mS), M (20 mS), and L (30 mS). For example, if you’ve placed the rear speakers in a large room or apart from your listening position, set the delay time shorter.
